Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

When you are uneasy, all sorts of troubles are likely to occur.

For example, the most common examples are vying for favor, scheming against each other, and fighting over family property...

Kitahara really didn't like seeing these things.

So he simply prepared other safeguards in advance.

Not only this time, but after each of his subsequent wives gave birth, he would buy a 'basic trust fund' for each child.

It is intended to secure their future livelihood.

Then, based on their future abilities and personalities, we will decide on the path they should take.

If you are capable and have a suitable personality, you can get a business from him, or even inherit his family business.

Of course, if you want to go out and try your luck, that's fine too, just don't ask him for money.

What the first generation of wealthy people fear most is that the second generation wants to start their own businesses.

If you don't have the ability, then you might as well be a freeloader.

They have plenty of food and drink, no pressure, and are lying on a $100 million trust fund.

Living the life of more than 99% of people, comfortable every day, isn't so bad.

……

Just as Kitahara Makoto expected.

After learning that his daughter had received a $100 million trust fund.

The way the three girls' parents looked at Kitahara Makoto suddenly changed.

When Kitahara Shinzai brought his three daughters back to his parents' home, his father-in-law and mother-in-law became incredibly warm and welcoming.

Even acquaintances like Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents were no exception.

There's no way around it; money has its good and bad sides.

However, given a choice, 99% of people would still choose to be rich.

Moreover, the women's families also benefited greatly from his influence.

One person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Kitahara Makoto is now a billionaire with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars.

Even a tiny bit leaking through the fingers would be enough to feed countless people until they were full.

Now that the girls are with Kitahara Makoto, they aren't the kind of people who would forget their family once they have money.

The women have all bought new houses for their families and given their parents a lot of money, so they can now retire and enjoy their old age.

This can be considered Kitahara Shin's explanation to them.

Money may not be everything, but you can't do without it in this society.

With money, even if you have three wives and four concubines, you can still find ways to silence gossip.

……

……

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

January of the new year.

A group of NicoNico executives traveled to North America.

Ringing the bell to list on Nasdaq.

This marked the official listing of NicoNico in North America.

Embarrassingly, NicoNico's stock price fell below the offering price as soon as the market opened.

Because the Japanese market is too small, and the North American branch has not yet achieved any results.

This has affected both institutional and retail investors in the market.

I didn't have much hope for NicoNico and maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

Its market capitalization eventually stabilized at around $12 billion.

This is the market's valuation of Japan's largest video website.

It is more than two billion dollars less than the valuation during the second round of financing.

Seeing this situation, the investment companies behind NicoNico couldn't sit still and started calling Kitahara Makoto.

Hopefully, he can expedite the construction of the North American branch.

With no other option, Kitahara Shin had to fly to North America again...

……

Hollywood.

NicoNico's North American division.

After several months of sorting out.

The North American division now has two segments: website operations and film production.

The website business has just started and hasn't made much progress yet.

The production work has been completed, but the project has not yet started without Kitahara Makoto's order.

This time, after Kitahara Makoto arrived, he immediately summoned the senior executives and staff of the production department.

Then he took out the book "House of Cards" that he had already written.

at the meeting.

The executives and producers looked at the script in their hands.

"~House of Cards~"?

"That's right, this is the company's first and most important project coming up."

"I want you to give 200% effort and get this project done!"

Kitahara Makoto said with a serious expression.

A senior executive looked up and asked, "Boss, what's our budget for this project?"

"One hundred million dollars!"

"What?! One hundred million dollars?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished.

Spending $100 million to produce a TV series?

That's enough money for a big-budget Hollywood movie.

Is this worth it? Will I be able to break even?

"That's right!"

"It's one hundred million US dollars. We want to produce a super high-quality web series that will shock the industry."

"Severely strike a blow to the arrogance of YouTube and Netflix!"

Kitahara Makoto revealed a confident smile.

Inspired by their boss's confidence, the subordinates also became excited.

Swing your sword at the strong, and then defeat them.

What an exciting thing this is!

If they succeed, it will be an incredibly brilliant addition to their life's resume.

So they all patted their chests and promised that they would put 200% effort into doing this project well.

After deciding on the first project.

NicoNico's North American branch immediately released the news.

The industry was shocked.

Spend $100 million to make a web series.

Many people think Kitahara has really gone mad.

YouTube and Netflix executives were even more amused, eagerly anticipating Kitahara Makoto's embarrassing fall...

"Don't worry, buddy, I've got it all under control!"

NicoNico North America.

in the office.

Kitahara Shin hung up the phone with a relaxed expression.

After news broke that the North American branch was preparing to spend $100 million to produce a web series.

Not only did netizens find it unbelievable, but competitors also felt that Kitahara had truly lost his mind.

Even their partners called, expressing great concern about the matter.

Of course, they still believed in Kitahara Makoto.

After all, NicoNico grew from nothing to a company worth over ten billion US dollars in less than three years.

All of this is thanks to Kitahara Makoto's exceptional vision and outstanding abilities.

So before Kitahara Makoto stumbled.

No one could interfere with his decisions or shake his position in the company.

His numerous successful decisions have given shareholders a great deal of confidence in him.

Of course, even if someone wants to leave.

Kitahara is really not afraid either.

He currently has a large amount of cash on hand.

Even if someone withdraws their shares, he can still buy them all back.

You'll earn even more then.

Unfortunately, the other investment banks weren't fools either.

We won't risk letting go until the results are in.

……

After processing some documents and approvals in the office.

The House of Cards crew called.

Auditions for the film crew are about to begin.

So Kitahara Makoto took a car to the film set.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Amidst greetings, Kitahara Makoto led his entourage into the audition room.

Those who had received the news were already standing at the door to greet them.

The producers are David Fincher, James Frey, and Raf Moni, head of production at NicoNico North America.

To ensure success, Kitahara Makoto tried his best to maintain the original team from his previous life.

He will also be a judge for today's auditions, and will be the final judge.

There was no other way; it was for the first major project of the North American branch.

Producer Kitahara had to return to the industry and personally oversee the filming of the production.

He also hopes to use the original cast, including the actors.
